The Esqual although finished is now stalled as the engineering company that did the independent inspection won't now sign as they 'don't know what they are signing for'.... Further communication between the parties are required, my fault as getting a permit to fly across a few borders is an expected complication. See you soon, Regards, Clive + Shirley -----Original Message----- From: owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com [mailto:owner-lightning-list-server@matronics.com] On Behalf Of N1BZRich@aol.com Sent: 18 July 2010 00:24 Subject: Lightning-List: Oshkosh report #2 Went downtown this afternoon and made two observations. One - they are using a large pump to drain the lake on the NW corner of the north forty. For those of you that know the airport layout, that is where there was a walk through gate to get to Hardees and other nearby restraunts. Many airplanes are being parked on the north ramp where the FBOs are. They have already drained a "lake" in the campground where the new water and electric hook up were for those trailers and motorhomes. Forecast is for a chance of more rain tonight and tomorrow. Two - there is an unbelievable amount of road construction going on throughout the area on both sides of US 41. The parallel roads are down to one lane and many parts are not paved. I just can't imagine the highway department starting such a large project during the AirVenture time of the year. Other than that, it is a beautiful evening. Blue Skies, Buz ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 08:03:06 AM PST US From: N1BZRich@aol.com Subject: Lightning-List: More rain at OSH More rain last night and then again this morning. Lots of standing water all over the place. If you are not going to fly your Lightning, think about bringing your experimental Ark. Forecast is for clearing this afternoon, and in fact, I am starting to see some blue sky now. See you all next week - be there, aloha.
